RG3 won the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year.
The Redskins rookie quarterback won in a vote that was not particularly close. The AP conducted the vote and announced that Griffin got 29 votes to 11 for Colts quarterback Andrew Luck and 10 for Seahawks QB Russell Wilson.
Congrats to him as it was well deserved. Of more importance, RG3 walked the red carpet and accepted the award without a limp. He is only a month removed from surgery and he mentioned that he is ahead of schedule and plans to be ready by opening day. Whether that happens or not, it was good to see him up and about and moving without any limp. He certainly looked good and that was encouraging. I want for him and the Skins to play it safe and not rush him but it certainly looked like the guy would be ready to play at least a good portion of the upcoming season.

He certainly deserves the honor. I haven't seen him walking but it sounds encouraging. Good for him.
I saw him walk the red carpet and speak. He looked great with no limp and sounded very positive.
I'm sure we will hear much more on his progress in the coming months.
Again, he mentioned that he is ahead of schedule and that he just needs to listen to his doctors and be smart and not do too much and allow the knee/muscles strengthen. I have confidence he will be fine.
There is no question he was deserving of the award and the AP showed that.
JSR, three weeks after surgery the guy is walking with no limp. He is able to walk up stairs. Given the type of surgery he had, it's pretty remarkable that he is able to do that at this point.
At this point, you would expect crutches or at the very least some sort of limp. Now maybe he has a tremendous threshhold for pain and is an incredibly gifted actor and masked the pain he was feeling on the red carpet and at the awards show but the fact that he was moving as well as he was is certainly encouraging that he is most certainly making progress.
Again, I say be cautious with him and don't rush him back but I it seems likely we will see him for at least a good portion of the season next year. Hopefully he learns how to slide and head out of bounds.
